Description: We at St. Joseph Montessori-Based Preschool practice principles set forth by Maria Montessori. “The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life.†(Maria Montessori) The history of Montessori education goes back to the turn of the Twentieth Century. Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy’s first woman doctor, began her work with children in 1899, when she was asked by the Italian government to direct a state school for retarded children. After close observation and isolation of the children’s learning difficulties, Dr. Montessori developed a simple teaching approach to help these children. The success of Dr. Montessori’s approach was revealed when these children shocked authorities by passing state examinations given to normal children of the same age.
